“Managing Our Stormwater, from Gutter to Gator” workshop to be held in Victoria, TX
Posted in Uncategorized on June 2, 2017| Leave a Comment »
Learn about natural techniques for cleansing and conserving stormwater for humans and wildlife, at any scale–backyard to campus to region. Our bayous and bays are greatly impacted by the quality of the stormwater flowing into them, and now is a great time to start improving it with practices we can implement at home, at our workplaces, or beyond. The workshop is open to everyone. There is no cost to attend but registration is required by 6/20. Lunch is included with registration.
Registration for the workshop and more information is here.
A copy of the flyer is available: GIFT Workshop flyer-Victoria_final Please share.
